I would try putting it all back and re-emerge everything (emerge -vaD
--emptytree world). It would fix if anything bad happened to the compiled
things and you could start using the things which survived sooner.
I tried re-emerging vim from within the chroot and I got:
/usr/portage/eclass/vim.eclass: line 342: make: command not found
What do you think?
Have you checked the laptop drive? If it is faulty then re-installing is
just wasting your time.
I would recommend checking the drive with smartmontools before going any
further. Given the problems outlined above, I would make a package for
it on your desktop and do a binary install of the result on the laptop.
Good luck
